Are you using SharePoint at all? If so - I'd create a list there for the options. I can create a sample for you with XML tho - but I don't understand this sentence: "If any other is select in column in that column a it should be the default value, it should only work only when A is selected"

This is something you'll need to use a secondary data source for in order to be able to apply a filter. You can either use an XML file, or, if you are using SharePoint, use a SharePoint list.

You have to download it and open it in design mode as per my instructions above: Right click the linked form in the post header, save it locally. Right click the locally saved file and select Design to open in Design mode.

I see now. So, you are on the right track with your submit rule - except you are setting the main data source field after you submit, which means the data doesn't get saved. Data entered into a secondary data source (like your XML data source) never is saved when the form is submitted - it will always default to whatever the source data values ...

I'm confused, I'm sorry. Are you talking about two separate InfoPath forms? Secondary data sources can be set to query on load or to be queried via rules, which is what I'm talking about. Feel free to attach your form (or forms) to a reply. You can only add one attachment per reply - just reply twice if you have two different forms you ...

Is this in FormsViewer or a regular InfoPath browser session? Generally, I wouldn't recommend having that large of an XML file, with 13 hardcoded files in it. I do understand why you are concerned about providing links - If you only showed them the relevant links would that be an issue? That is, are you concerned that if they have the URL to ...

Does the form always query the secondary data source? When you use a secondary data source as a default value in the Main data source with that "refresh" checkbox selected, you'll need to make sure the secondary data is always present. You can test that by putting the secondary data source field on your form in the views you wish to ...

No - you can't add a group to the schema in a list form.

It looks from your screenshot like that XML file is a form resource. Under the data tab in the ribbon in the designer you can click on the Resources button to see any XML or other resource files. There will be a button you can click to export the files so you can look at them. XML files can be created in any text editor. There's lots of ...

You could try dragging the repeating SharePointListItem_RW onto the form and select Repeating Table - but any time the user adds an item it adds another list item. List forms don't support nested repeating elements.
